BENEFITS OF RATIO UTILITY BILLING FOR ADUS
1. Fair, Transparent Allocation of Costs: RUBS ensures that the utility costs are distributed fairly based on consumption.
2. Encouragement of Conservation: When Residents are responsible for their utility bills, they are more mindful of their consumption. What’s good for the planet is good for your wallet!
3. Financial Sustainability: For homeowners, ADUs can provide an additional source of income. But you can’t raise the rent every time the city raises water prices. Implementing RUBS lets you maintain a healthy bottom line as utility costs, especially water, continue to rise.
4. Ease of Implementation: RUBS can be easily implemented by property owners and property managers. No separate meters or submeters are needed, making it a cost-effective solution.
ADU’s can address housing challenges, provide additional income, and promote multi-generational living. Ensuring a fair and efficient utility cost recovery mechanism is essential to their success.
As the popularity of ADUs continues to rise, integrating RUBS into these housing setups can unlock their full potential and contribute positively to housing diversity and affordability.
